From Andrew Johnson:

In your presentation about CA V4, you included the method channel::createAllPropertiesReadRequest(). I agree that we need a way to be able to read all of the properties available from the server for a particular PV name, but I want more flexibility than just being able to put that wild-card at the top of my request.

I think we need the ability to be able to subscribe with a property catalog having a specific set of properties at one level but to wild-card a sub-property catalog at some level below. Is this currently possible? If not, please consider this a request to add that capability, which might then remove the need for the seperate createAllPropertiesReadRequest() method. I'm only looking for you to support "*", no pattern matching or regex stuff.
